Time jump. Penny is two years old and Riley is pregnant with her and Lucas's second child.

We'll Be Fine

Riley smiled as she glanced up at her laptop as she did the dishes. Why she didn't use the dish washer she would never know but she prefer doing them by hand and while she was doing them she loved to watch Maya's channel and see what her best friend was up to. Moving away and not being able to see Maya and her family everyday was hard and one thing that made it a little easier was her best friend was a YouTube star and was constantly uploading videos, especially vlogs that had her family members in it. She watched as her best friend ran her hand through her hair after showing a piece of her art work she was working on before talking to the camera.

"So, I think this is where I'm going to end today's vlog. I don't think I will be up to too much the rest of the night. I know, I need to edit this but...I'm probably just going to hang out with my hubby-oh wait! Maybe I can get Boing to tell you guys hi and good night because I know some of you have been asking where he is. He's been studying really hard and working a lot and that's why you guys haven't been seeing much of him lately because I don't think to whip out the camera when we are together."

Riley watched as Maya walk down the spiral stairs of her apartment into the little study corner where Josh look over his shoulder from his books to look at his wife, amused that she was recording him and turning in his chair to face her.

"Look at how hot my hubby is in his glasses and beanie," Maya grinned into the camera before she showed Josh shaking his head and rolling his eyes as he pushed back from the "L" shaped desk some. "I just wanted to see if you wanted to say hi and tell everyone good night because everyone has been leaving comments saying they miss seeing you," she told him as she sat down in his lap with her free arm wrapping around his neck and giving him a quick kiss.

"Hi and good night," Josh smirked into the camera causing Maya to playfully roll her eyes.

"He's so talkative. Like I said we aren't going to do much tonight."

Josh looked loving at Maya then to the camera, raising his eyebrows and with a slight smirk.

Sudden Riley's laptop got quiet and she thought she loss her wifi connection but only to see words on the screen.

"I'm sorry for my husband's inappropriate words and if they offend you and if you are easily offended then stop the vlog now and I'll see you in my next video," Riley read, shaking her own head

"Maybe watch a movie or-"

"Have sex."

Riley's mouth dropped open as she shook her head at her uncle. "I did not need to know that Uncle Josh."

"Josh!" she warned.

"What? It's true," he laughed.

Maya looked at him appalled before pushing his face out of camera view. "No we aren't," she said, seriously even though there was a hint of a smile there. "And that's another reason why he hasn't been on the vlog because he says inappropriate things when he knows this is suppose to be G to PG rated," she said into the camera before wrapping her arm back around him and Josh coming back into view, smiling wide, and she turned her focus on him. "I'm leaving this on here and telling your mother to watch today's vlog," she threaten, blushing.

Josh laughed, "That's okay. My mom knows we have sex and she doesn't mind because eventually she wants us to give her a grandchild."

Maya playfully glared at him, "Stop."

"I'm not doing anything," he laughed. "I'm telling you the truth."

"Yes, you are and you know are," she told him, before looking back in the camera, "I'm really going to end it here and I'll see you guys in my next video. Say bye."

"Bye," Josh saluted into the camera before wrapping his arms around Maya and making the camera point down and Maya yelling her husband's name, laughing.

Riley watch the video cut off telling her subscribers to click on the video to watch her favorites.

"Watching the Matthews?"

Riley looked up to see her husband enter in the kitchen. "Yeah, you know, you would think they were the newlyweds and we were the old married couple."

Lucas looked over at the laptop as autoplay played the next video. "Well, they don't have a toddler running around and aren't expecting another baby."

Riley nodded, "True," she agreed, pecking his lips. "Not that I'm not happy to see you but what are you doing home so early?"

Lucas sighed, taking a seat at the counter.

"You found out," Riley said, instantly knowing he found out if he was being deploy or not.

Lucas nodded.

Riley swallowed. "And?"

The look in Lucas's eyes told her everything she needed to know but hearing him say the words out loud was like a dagger through her heart.

"I'm getting deployed."

Riley closed her eyes as the tears already started. She turned from her husband and shoved his arm off of her when he reached out for her. "I need a minute," she told him.

Lucas remained quiet watching in pain, watching as his wife's heart broke right in front of him. He stood back giving her the space she asked for.

"It just sucks," she said. "You're not going to be here when I have this baby."

"I know," Lucas murmured.

"That's not fair!"

"I know," he agreed as Riley turned back to face him. "Riley, you know if I didn't have to..."

Riley nodded, "I know."

They both sighed, as their minds raced of what the six months he was away held for them and what he would be missing out on. It wasn't the first time he would be deployed or was away but it never made it easier.

"I was thinking," Lucas began, his worried eyes on his wife.

Riley frowned, knowing where he was going with this. She shook her head, but he continued anyway.

"Maybe you should think about going back home-"

"No," Riley cut him off. "This is our home and I want to bring our baby home to our home. Plus, Penny loves her daycare and I love my job."

"I just want you to have support while I'm gone."

"I'll be fine," she reassured him. "Lucas, this isn't my first rodeo," she smile, causing him to chuckle.

"I don't like the thought of you being alone."

"And I won't be. I'm sure when it gets close to the baby coming, my mom will come, Maya already has plans to be here and you know Josh is going to join her at some point," she told him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Not to mention, Farkle, Smackle and Zay all plan to visit after the baby is born. I'm not going to be alone."

Lucas nodded, holding his wife tight as he rested his forehead against her's. It was true. This wasn't their first rodeo but this one seem to hurt the most. He was going to be leaving behind a pregnant wife who would give birth while he was gone and a three year old who would noticed he wasn't around.

"We will be fine."

"This is going to be hard."

"We've been through it before and we survived and we will survive again."

Lucas nodded, placing a quick kiss on his wife's mouth. "You are so strong."

"Because I have an amazing husband at my side. Everything is going to be okay. I'll be able to hold the fort down while you are gone. You are going to do what you have to do and I'm going to do what I have to do."

Lucas gave her a small smile, proud to be able to call the woman in his arms his wife. She was right. It was going to be hard but they would survive it. "I love you."

"I love you too," she said back, staring up into his eyes. "Don't worry. We'll be fine."

I hope you enjoyed. Please leave me a review with your thoughts.
